Hello,
Over this summer at my parents house my father and I built a cold room. He had an old wine cellar in the basement so we ripped its guts out and re-did the insulation. We lined the walls and celling with roll insulation then put board insulation over it.
Unfortunately I had to leave to go back to school ( oregon state fermentation science!) before it was finished so He had to go through and finish by himself. Fortunately my dad just happened to have some professionals over working on insulation for the rest of our house and they offered to professionally seal it up for him.
Heres the problem, we had installed an analog ac where i threaded the copper wire back through the unit and hooked it up to a ranco. My dad said he tested everything out today and despite having the ranco set to 45F the room never went below 56 after four hours. Plus he said the unit never shut off. The ac is sealed into the wall pretty well so taking it out is the last resort. I asked, and no the coils did not freeze so something else must be wrong.
Any suggestions? Thanks
